Help?!?!?!!?

[richifie]

I'm relatively new to coding- i've made some apps (but haven't published them).I have now started a more complicated app.

So here's my problem
1. I managed to get my figure bouncing
2. but when i add in the code to make it move left and right using gravity (below) and i try and run it this time the entire app crashes after about three seconds. I have narrowed it down to one piece of code-

moveLeft = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.015 target:self selector:@selector(goLeft) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

-Which is a basic timing code-

After 3 seconds of running it exits saying- Debugging interrupted.

What went wrong??? PLEASE HELP

Hi and welcome.

The method call looks just fine. Although the interval is really small... I think you should be posting your goLeft method because it may cause problems if it is called that often.

Also, please try to give your next thread a meaningful title. Everyone around here wants help so your title doesn't convey any information. Thanks.

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for the reply. I will remember that for the future. If i remove that snippet of code it works perfectly! Any ideas what the problem is? Anyone?

Change the interval to .05 and see what happens.

I tried that. Exactly the same thing happened- about 3 seconds then crash.

Would more of my code maybe help

More code would be great. I have a feeling that since you call this method so often, it is probably a memory problem, but im not sure

[Robert Paulson]

Ye, that was my guess as well. Like a memory leak in your goLeft method. But to find the potential problem, we'd need to see the code.

For some reason i just re-wrote the code that had the problems and it's working perfectly!

Thanks 4 all the help!

I guess we'll never know what was wrong...

Cheers all.

Well, whatever you did to make it work: I'm glad it does.
